I went out for a run this morning after a close win in my basketball game.  I am pretty out of shape but, more in pain than anything.  I must have a hip issue because my whole right side is messed up, groin, adductor, abductor, lower abdominal area, etc.  It even hurts when I haven't run.  I went North for two miles today and turned around and ran back the same way.  The weather was great, maybe mid 40s.  I had music again and wore my heart rate monitor, which really made me feel slow and out of shape.  I think I could get back into shape quickly if I didn't have these nagging injuries. 29:55

I was thinking  that Sasha should make this blog kind of like facebook.  I used to love it because it was smaller, and most people I knew or would get to know, but now it is so big that it is overwhelming, and I can't even find my friends race reports without sifting through 50 others.  If we could make our blogs so those we wanted to see it could see it, invite our friends to join our blog, still be able to send messages to others, etc, I think it might work better.  I just have a hard time keeping track of the people I want to now, and can't keep track of everyone else.  What do you runners think???

I put my friend's blogs in the "Favorite Blogs" section, and then just click on those at least once a week to check up on everyone. Works great, and I don't have to wade thru huge lists.

James, just set up RSS feeds for the blogs you like to read. That's how I follow you guys, I never go in the front end of the site anymore to look around for others -- because you're right, there's a lot.

I agree its harder to keep track of everyone, even as a lurker.
